Question

1. What is known by power lines of the electric field?
2. Define electrical potential. Express your units.
3. What are equipotential lines?
4. In the experiment that you are going to perform, how are the equipotential lines determined? experimentally?
5. What is the geometrical relationship of the equipotential lines with the lines of force of the electric field?
6. Why are the lengths of force vectors smaller when moving away from the load?
7. Calculate the voltage of an equipotential line between the plates of a capacitor if the distance from the line to the negative plate is 0.02 m and the electric field strength constant is 20 N / C.

Explanation / Answer

1) The potential lines are known as the power line of the electric field.

2) It is defined as the amount of work needed to move a charge from infinity to a given point. Units: Volt

3) Equipotential lines are the line perpendicular to the electric field, where potential is same. They represent the electric potential at a given point.

4) They are determined using a test charge. The locations where this charge feels the same field strength and direction. They can be determined using a voltmeter.

5) They are always perpendicular to each other.
